It's the end of July! JULY! The seventh month of the year, done and dusted! AHHHHH! I've got memories of being on a tropical beach over the winter holidays, sipping rum and dodging mosquitoes like I was doing a rhythmic gymnastics routine just recently. It turns out that was seven months ago, not recently. Who did this to us? Why is it happening so quickly? And why am I wearing a jacket, and why do I have the windows closed here in San Francisco, right now, as I write this? NOBODY KNOWS. One thing's for sure, though: it's almost August, and August is springtime, as far as I'm concerned…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! I write this having spent a wonderful week in paradise (Bora Bora, French Polynesia, to be precise) with my partner Tam Mie. We were so very sad to have to say goodbye.
But that means I'm officially back at my desk, with nary a manta ray to be found anywhere. Sigh. That's okay, though, as there are a ton of amazing things to read and catch up on - so let's dive into this week's roundup (if not the pearly blue, crystal-clear oceans of the South Pacific)!
